Re: Elections will not Solve Pakistan’s Problems
60 years is not enough for you to learn that leadership doesn't prosper under dictatorships? Military rules have resulted in leaders like Nawaz Sharif, Altaf Hussein and you already know their capabilities. And still you want army to remain in control waiting for a messiah leader to come from skies and solve our problems.
Things will evolve, give people justice system (free of govt influence), provide law enforcement, setup accountability of govt officials and within a decade or two people will see the fruits of electing their representative.
Sir, I was not referring to the history of Pakistan...I was referring to recent military governments and the coup of 1999. Why did this coup happen?...Because of 10 years of incompetent officials which were voted in by the government.
The army completes a function that democratic parties should complete...; removing incomepetent politicians. If demoratic parties completed that function, the military would have no moral ground in removing these elected governments.
Why is it that whenever the military overthrows a democratically elected leader, the streets of Pakistan are filled with jubilation? Why? Is it because the people are fed up with severe incompetency?
What you say, about things evolving is a dream and a joke! Perhaps if you view the realities of Pakistan you would ask yourself how can there be justice, when politians get away with murder? How can there be accountability when the governments themselves are not accountable?
If the political parties that exist currently, run the country for the next decade or two, the country will become a failed state again (as it was after 10 years of sham democracy), and instead of these fruits, what will be created, will be a breed of super looters and supreme criminal politicans.
My view is quite simple; Whats the point of elections when the same failed leaders will come back in power? Will anything change?
PPP- corrupt, feudal to the core
PML-N - No, i never made a deal...wait a minute I did for only 5 years
PML-Q - Supposedly the reason why the problems exist
So WHO TO ELECT?? Electing someone, just for the hell of electing someone...is not going to solve any problems...now is it?
It's like what my friends father said to him "Don't get married, just for the hell of it...it will ruin your life. Wait for however long, and get married to someone who is worthwile getting married to."
I hope you get my point.
